rseroter · x · 2026-10-02
Richard Seroter's reading list #879 centers on software engineering in the AI era:
- Code review shifts: The Code Nobody Reads argues the key is deciding what's worth reading and reviewing.
- Agent quality: Maintaining quality while agents write the code says to zoom in on decisions needing thoughtful instructions and reviews.
- Agent memory: Google Cloud's Agent Platform Memory Bank for storing and reusing memories.
- Agent UI: Give focused answers via a generative UI with A2UI on Cloud Run.
- OpenClaw enterprise: OpenClaw launched a free enterprise control plane for persistent AI agents, backed by OpenAI, Red Hat and Nvidia.
- Counterpoint: Coding is NOT solved stresses developers are responsible for what they produce; Seroter disagrees with most of it but recommends the read.
- CLI-over-MCP: Google Cloud's CLI remote MCP server matters for AI clients that can't call local scripts.
- Cost cutting: Cloudflare's AI Gateway Auto Router for automatic model routing.
